Who is Claire Heilig? 'The Bachelor' Season 26 star is a single mom ready to find love
With Michelle Young's season of 'The Bachelorette' finally over, it's safe to say that she and Nayte Olukoya walked away into the sunset together. And while their love story is beautiful, she certainly broke a few hearts along the way in the search for Mr Right. Among said broken hearts was Clayton Echard, who wanted nothing more than to be the man for Michelle.
And while he won over her students in an instant, convincing Michelle was not all that easy. His elimination had him thinking that he should put his walls back up, seeing that being vulnerable only brought him heartache. Luckily, Season 26 of 'The Bachelor' has 31 women waiting to mend his heart and among them is Claire Heilig.
